Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day!

It’s Giveaway Day and I nearly completely missed it! I’m behind on my blog reading, that’s my excuse. This week is my last week at work. I’m emigrating to Canada from here in the UK in a few weeks and moving out of my house in less than two. My sewing machine has sold (I think… yep, it’s off eBay already sorry to those who were here yesterday) and I’m going to be getting on people’s nerves for at least a few weeks while I don’t know what to do with myself and don’t have private space any more.

So!

A hugely unimaginative prize up for grabs – a half yard of each of these Cotton + Steel Backgammon prints by Melody Miller (yep I know I was destashing them only in yesterday’s post).I’ll also throw in the December issue of Popular Patchwork magazine. It features my Chandelier quilt pattern…

To enter to win, leave me a comment and for extra entries you can follow my blog, follow me on Instagram (@pennydog) or follow Patterns to Print on Facebook (a project I am helping to work on) and if you do any/all of those things, please leave an additional comment for each one to be entered into the draw. Following me on FB doesn’t count, sorry.

Winner will be drawn the morning of Monday 14th December (GMT) to allow all time zones to have finished their Sundays and get their entries in. International entries welcome.

If you don’t know what to say in your comment, maybe tell me one of your quilting goals for next year.

I would like to have a blue/white queen-sized quilt finished next year. I need to get it quilted and then decide on the binding. Just love Cotton and Steel fabric. So, thank you for being a part of the Sew Mama Sew Giveaway Day and the chance to win those 1/2 yards of the Backgammon prints along with a copy of this awesome magazine. Looks like some great ideas, among them being your own quilt. Happy Holidays to you.

I follow you via email. (Should have been only one “T” on the preview post–sticky keyboard, ancient laptop.) Good luck with the move. It will be such a relief once you are all settled. I’ll be curious to hear how it works, moving with the pets.

Welcome to Canada! Hoping you get a new machine soon. I’m new to sewing and generally sew clothes for my 3yo daughter, but I know that as soon as I start quilting I’m going to love it. So with that, I hope to finally get around to making my first quilt next year.

All the best wishes for your upcoming move. I don’t have a good excuse, but I’ve been behind on my blog reading as well, and I am trying to catch up with a large backlog of quilting I have been neglecting. That’s my goal for the New Year.

You’ll love it here in Canada once you get over the weather shock! We came here from Ireland one November – you do get used to it. And we have lots of sewing machines and fabric so you can get re-stashed in no time!
